I like amprolium for prevention, to let them build up a nice immunity.
When they're showing signs of severe illness, its time to bring out the big guns and that means sulfamethoxazine, albon or baycox. But I find that the baycox is the absolute bomdiggidy.
It is not available in the US for chickens, but you can get the equine generic online from Canada, its expensive but the dose is so small that a bottle lasts forever, even if your hatching a lot of chicks.
Bayer has a website devoted to baycox and there is a dosage calculator on that website, the only problem is that if you get the equine generic form of the medication, you have to cut the dosage in half because the horse concentration is double that of the chicken.
